Definitely not a pampered princess of a pooch, oh no!5 -
Yes mate, it was our old cat Bumper and it my wife who shut it's tail in the door. I was in a curry house with @Glass half empty after a Charlton Life piss up somewhere when she texted to let me know (might have been a pre season against Welling). Took him to the vets the next day and he ended up having to have one of those collars fitted. There is a picture of it on here somewhere, will try and find it.Carter said:
Mate, I could be thinking of someone else or have completely made this up in my own mind. Did you have a cat that chopped his own tail off in a door? The story I'm thinking of involves a preseason friendly, a through breeze in the home and a door slamming and whilst I had enormous sympathy for the pusscat involved I also have memories of lager coming out of my nose laughingDaveMehmet said:Here’s our dopey cat Bright (probably the most inappropriate name ever)

Rufus on Catbells a couple of years ago. Looks as if he's spotted a picnic...

Not pets as such, but I have a couple of cameras in our Blue Tit box. The female is sitting on 8 eggs which are due to hatch in 11/12 days time so if anyone wants to follow their progress PM me and I will send you the FB link.

Our rescue Pincer brings us so much happiness.
Until six months ago she had never been on a beach, she's still not too sure about getting her paws wet though

We haven’t managed to get Boots to the beach yet.
He still gets sick in the car.
Any advice gladly received 🙏🏻💚1 -

Start by putting him in the car without going anywhere, progressively working towards starting the car and running the engine, advancing to driving to the end of the road to around the block etc. All over a period of time, don’t rush it.KBslittlesis said:We haven’t managed to get Boots to the beach yet.

Also consider a crate so he lays down the unexpected turns, acceleration and braking are the trigger so don’t get a huge crate so he can stand.1 -
What @T_C_E said - when we bought Buster and Bodie, they had never been in a car, let alone a big loud Land Rover - Buster loved it, Bodie was hyperventilating all the way home, and we were very worried about him - he still isn’t great being in the Land Rover, but associates it with going for a walk, so tolerates it - Buster loves to stick his head of the window - strange how brothers have reacted totally opposite to the same thingKBslittlesis said:We haven’t managed to get Boots to the beach yet.

Bodie has never been sick, but initially there were some close calls - by putting him in but not going anywhere he got used to it1 -
Due to working abroad, we’ve been petless for a while, but we’ve addressed that this week. We’ve just got ourselves a pair of kittens. Brother and sister. Named Jeff and Robin. Robin is the one with ginger and white in her colouring.

Well, there's been a slight change of plan...KBslittlesis said:
Oh they are gorgeous 😻😻JohnBoyUK said:
Not the best photos (blame my wife) but these two kittens are coming home with us on Friday.
Our house has always been a cat home and it has felt very empty after our last cat Gangsta went to sleep in March 2022. Cant wait to see our daughters faces when we bring them in.
The one on the right has got bigger paws than Pat Jennings has got hands FFS 😂
Do let me know a) their names b) your daughter’s reaction
Beautiful kitties xxx
The kittens are from a litter of 11! Sadly only 6 of them survived. We don't know the full story but they were rescued from an owner who had an accident and then when the services/social got involved, the house they were in was condemned, so he had to move and wasn't capable of looking after himself or the kittens.
Anyhow, the Mum was going to a good home but her rehousing fell through, so Mrs JB melted and agreed to take her too! So after the vet visit, we agreed they should stay for another week and then Mum and 2 of the kittens would be coming home with us. If Mrs JB had her way, all 6 kittens would be coming.
The Mum is called Lillybet and it just 2yo according to the vet. And the two kittens are going to be called KitKat and Mylo. Both boys. Will be nice to have some more testosterone in the house, what with me, the wife and 3 daughters.
From 2 cats to none to 3 cats again in an instant. Its going to be fun & games 4 -

We tried the crate but he was sick in it.
Probably too big.
Will start again with the just sitting in it etc.
He's not interested in anything when he's in the van. Tried him on your lap to look out the window but he's just nit bothered.
Poor boy xx
And we literally are on the coast but the best beaches are a drive away. And the walk is still a wee bit too far there & back. He's still only 6mths.0 -
As you say he's only six months so it might be worth persevering with, he may grow out of it it's all a big new world to him at the moment.

@man_at_milletts I’m in bexleyheath.
zoom in close and you can just see mum or dads beak peaking out the box3 -
We think ours are close to fledging, as the noise from the nest box is loud, but next door’s fucking cat is constantly hanging around the nest box now - I have put up garden wire across the fence panel the box is on - it has spooked him, as he can’t walk along the top of the panel now - would have preferred to nail barbed wire along, but that would scare the chicks, so a job for post fledging - we are very protective of our Blue Tits - a few years ago same cat killed 3 chicks, it was so upsettingElthamaddick said:@man_at_milletts I’m in bexleyheath.

well done to you though 😸😸😸1 -
I can give advice to people with puppies and that is get them in the car at every opportunity. Older dogs are extremely hard to change (I know from others). My dog loves the car, but I used to drive him to the office from day one. We have done European driving tours with him and will be doing another in a couple of weeks.Taxi_Lad said:
